Yawn Yawn, Wakey Wakey..!! MK 6..

Lovely to here from you Woo....

 

Good morning everyone,

Shiney,glad that you all enjoyed the chicken casserole.We went off to Mr T's yesterday as they were doing another deal and managed to get a chicken that was reduced down to £2.48 so that was another good bargain plus we got loads of reduced red meat joints plus pack of mince so they are now all wrapped and in the freezer.People can't afford to pay top prices for joints of meat so the shops are full of meat that are not being bought{until the prices get reduced that is then there are swarms of people round that part of the fridges}

Moyra,that is a very good bargain with the curtains and hope that when they come they help to freshen the room upHope all is well with you and that you,Steve and Amber are enjoying the sunshine we are having at the moment

Loli,I was listening to Raido 4 on Friday and they were saying on Gardeners Question Time that chooks like to have moss from lawns in their nest boxes to lay their eggs on as it is nice and soft and even enjoy it in their runs to sit and scratch around on Hope you enjoy the fret saw and it would be nice to see some photos of the finished articals when you have done your work

Lovely to see you Woo

Anyway,we had a busy day yesterday as I got the hoover decoked to keep the filters etc nice and clean and not gummed up with dust and fluff,went to Mr T's for shopping,hung out to lots of washing,picked up our new glasses from Boots,changed our holiday from Cornwall to Wight as the CC are doing a good deal,and then plied the heating engineer with mugs of coffee as he came with the new pump and valves to replace the ones that had conked out.It cost us £145 including labour but at least we now have heating and hot water again so we are happy bunnies

Oh and has anyone else noticed how the fuel prices are going up by 1p a week so now Mr Kandys diesel has gone up to £143.9 a litre and that is without the 3p rise that is coming in August

Hope you all have a lovely Sunday

 

Good morning Everyone.....
I'll be listening to GQT today Kandy ...so i'll listen out for the chicken/moss bitas if they're not spoilt enough. With this lovely weather the doors are wide open for the dogs to wander in and out AND the' girls'...can you believe they come in for a wander or a sleep but actually go outside to the toilet then come back in again.
I'm only a beginner with the fret saw ,but i'll get the hang of it,i'm going to start off doing a few 'shapes' and see how i get on....
There's no talk of a hosepipe ban here YET...but i'm sure it won't be long....did lots of watering yesterday but it soon disappears....
Woo will be so proud of me...being a total rose novice i thought i'd take a few cuttings of an old climbing rose we have.....they've taken...can't believe it....so i'll have to get a photo taken
Enjoy your Bridge day Shiney....

Have a lovely day everyone,enjoy this beautifull sunshine

 

Morning Everyone, Somebody forgot to tell the sunshine here that the clocks went forward overnight. Very dull and none too warm either. So the cloches and the greenhouse door remain in place.

Decorating still progressing slowly. 1½ wall preparation to go. He is doing a super job but oh the time it is taking.

Shiney enjoy the bridge day out. WOO take care of yourself. Lolli your girls love their freedom and such gentle ladies too! Well brought up girls.

Hope you all have a lovely day today.

 

Good morning everyone

I must say I don't like this messing about with the clocks and feel quiet shattered so need to catch up on my sleep at some point as my body clock is all in a mess again

We had another glorious day with wall to wall sunshine after finding some fog in the village where our allotment is but the sun soon burnt it off and we had a good morning doing gentle work so as not to mess up our backs as Mr Kandy's is still dodgy and i didn't want to set mine off

In the afternoon we drove to the disused railway near by and had a nice three mile walk,plus saw our first Chiff Chaff of the year plus saw loads of primroses and violets in flower

Hope you all have a very good day

 

Morning Everyone, Another beautiful day. The Resident's Housing Association have planted daffodils all round the shrubberies round the estate and they do look lovely. I have noticed too that violets are seeding themselves all round too. Beautiful.

Have a lovely day everyone and don't overdo your backs whatever you are doing today!

 

Good evening everyone...
I know i'm rather late but it's the first time i've sat down today.... i finished work at 2pm then came home and started watering the garden...it's so dry...but what another beautifull afternoon....after a frosty start....It won't belong before i'm fast asleepi've posted one or two pics...not brilliant ones but you'll get the gist....Love to all

 

Good morning everyone,

Lovely photo Loli,nice to see dogs and chooks getting on so well together

Moyra,yes the daffs look lovely everywhere and at leats they brighten up what could be dull days

Shiney,we have always been walkers and more so when we had a dog as she was a cross breed Collie x Terrier so had both types of working dog in her genes so needed plenty of exercise.You do lots of walking as you mow your lawns and then edge them so walking up and down your acres of garden helps with the exercise

Hope that Woo and Penny are both ok and enjoying the spring sunshine

Have a good day everyone

 

Good morning everyone,
Another bright sunny one here but Mr Lolimac has just had to defrost the car.....
The dogs and chooks do get on well Kandy but i still keep a close watch on them when they are 'playing'...it's the dogs i'm more worried about because it's the chickens that are actually in charge...even the odd cat that ventures into the garden are more afraid of the chooks than the dogs....
Good news about the marquee Shineythough your guests will hopefully need it for the shade instead of the rain....that's also a good reminder for us to check the washers on the water butts whilst they're empty
I hope Moyra ,Penny and Woo are all ok.....
Enjoy another beautifull Spring/summers day

 

Hello everyone, late on parade. Got carried away uncovering the cloches and plants and then watering and walking Amber and before you know it the morning has gone.
Hospital tomorrow for the Renal Clinic, lets hope that goes ok. Thursday I have a luncheon out 13 of us all from the Essex Saga Zone going to lunch at the Ship at Tiptree where the jam comes from. We are going to have to swop place mid courses so that we get to talk to everyone. Only one male amongst that lot which is disappointing we normally have up to three males in our group.

Have a lovely day off to cook bacon rolls for lunch!
